Engine number location
The engine number is given together with the engine designation (AEE), stamped on the block under the coolant regulator housing, and also on a sticker placed on the protective cover of the belt drive.
The engine block-crankcase is cast from grey cast iron. The working cylinders are located directly in it (original diameter = 76.51 mm).
The crankshaft bearings have cast iron caps that are part of the block in the same way as the mounting screws.
Both halves of the bearings contain inserts made of steel sheet with a friction surface made of a special alloy. The inserts have tongue locks and a central lubrication groove.
The bearing caps are all the same, the liners are the same only for bearings 1, 2, 4, 5. The third bearing has a different liner, since the axial clearance of the shaft is adjusted on it by side guide rings.
